Chapter 1: The Beginning

Late June day Sonyas’ parents had both just left for work for the day. Her friends were coming over around 3 but it’s only 10 in the morning right now. Looking around her room a little she feels the sun coming into her room. Walking around in a small V-neck t-shirt that just comes to the midpoint of her butt and dark blue regular-cut panties. She walks out to the kitchen to get something to eat. Her mom left her a note about chores that she ignored. She opens the refrigerator door and grabs some grapes to eat. She goes to the family room and turns the TV on. Plops herself down on the couch. Flipping through the channels after a while she comes to realize there really is nothing on that interests her.

10:18. She rolls her eyes as she knows that it’s going to be a long time til her friends come over. She goes back to her room opens the blinds and pushes her window up all the way to let the air in. She goes and turns the music on to KISS FM 103.7. Music is good and upbeat and Sonya starts to feel it as she shakes a little bit to the beat. She looks at herself in the full-length mirror on her wall. She smiles as she starts to sway her hips back and forth. She cranks the music up as the beat gets faster. She jumps and bounces and dances to the music. Starts to sing to herself. She leaves her bedroom to go to the bathroom with the music still blaring.

Next door, Sonyas’ neighbor Bob looks out his kitchen window as he hears the music blaring next door. He knew that meant that the parents were gone and Sonya was awake. Her window looked right out on his driveway with nothing but a 3-foot stretch of grass in between. Her window was 4 feet off the ground so he would have no problem being able to look in her window. He has been retired now for over 8 years and with his wife passing 6 months ago he has found that he has a lot of free time. More free time than he has ever had in his 73 years of life. His kitchen gave him a perfect view also of looking right into Sonyas’ bedroom without being seen as a peeping tom. Perhaps when they first built these houses they didn’t take that into factor.

Sonya was oblivious to what he was doing and his intentions as she came back into her room and danced again. She looked at the clock,11: 08. Shit, she thought to herself. She looked around her room as the music continued to beat in the background. Bob just sat at his kitchen table looking right in at Sonya as she pranced around her room. Sonya decided to go lay out in the backyard until her friends came over later. She opened her dresser drawer that held her swimsuits and rummaged through them.

She stares blankly into her dresser drawer. “Hm, eenie, meenie, minie and mo.” As Sonya points and picks out a bikini to wear today. She grabs the one and throws it on her bed. The next song comes on the radio as she continues to dance in her room. Her long black hair bounces to every movement and the v-neck shirt she’s wearing flutters along with her. She went to quickly tinkle in the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Bob knew something was going on so he figured now would be a good time to start doing things in his garage and cutting his lawn. Sonyas’ backyard butted up to Bob’s garage and there is nothing but a couple two feet high bushes that separate their yards from each other. Bob knew if he was out there already doing something it wouldn’t look so perverted if he happened to be out there laying out like she does when her parents aren’t home. His garage is open already as he goes to get his lawn mower. Half an acre of grass does take its time to cut and gives him plenty of time to be outside to get a better look at Sonya when she comes out.

Sonya walks back into her room as she feels like she hears a faint noise coming from outside. Hard to tell with the music still blasting some tunes that still have her bouncing. She walks up to her window to look out to see what the noise is. She sees Bob her neighbor starting up his lawn mower. She sees that he’s struggling as he pulls the cord and she giggles. Bob is so harmless to her she thinks to herself. A big belly to go with his white hair. She finds him almost like Santa Claus in looks. She thinks that because she knew that he played Santa for her for a couple of Christmases when she was younger and still believed in that. Her parents and Bob never led on that it was him but she knew. During warmer months he keeps a clean shaved look but when winter hits he likes to grow a beard and he looks just like Santa. He has even worked as a mall Santa the past couple of Christmases. She turns away from her window grabs the bottom of her shirt and pulls it off. Throwing it on her bed next to her black bikini. She grabs her top and ties the top two strings together with her back still to her window.
